Great Memories.

If call great people have great MEM
ories,' rs Sir Arthur Helps declares
in his delightful book entitled Social
PRESSURE it by no means follows that
all tho-e who are possessed of great
memories are great people. Many
an instance might be cited to show
that men Of very moderate intelIec
tual capacity may be endowed with a
power of memory which is trial V pro-
diglouS. In addition to this. there
are plenty of authenticated exam
pies Of the extraordinary power OF
memory displayed even by idiots. In
the Memoirs of Mrs. Somcrville there
is curious account of a most extra
ordinary verbal memory. "fhere was
an idiot IN Edinburg." she tells us,
"of a respectable family who had re-
markable memory, He never failed
to 90 to the kirk Sunday, and on re-
turning home would repeat the ser
mon. saving. Here the minister
cnughel; here he stopped to blow his
nose During the tour We made in
the Highlands" she adds, "we met
with ano'h her idiot who knew the Bl
bIr SO perfectly that if you asked him
where such IA verse was to be found
he could tell without hesitation and
repeat the chapter. These examples

Shall b. said OF the case cited by
Arculeacan Fraron in his valuable
pamphlet on Mental Nigor:' There
was in my fathers parish, says the
ArChdeacon. "a man who could re-
member the day when every person
had been buried IN the parish for
thirty five wears. and could repeat
with uuvarying accuracy the name
and age Of the deceased. with the
monruers at the funeral. But he was
complete fol. out Of the line OF
buriuls. he had but one idea, and
could not give an intelilgible reply to
single question nor be trusted to

be matched by the Sussex farm labor,

ST LOUIS, Oct. 11.-Although It was q
cold, dissgreeable day, from 10000 to
$1,000 people saw the Detroits play very
good game and the Browns very bad one

those of Latham and Boyle, gave Detroit
their first four runs. The work
of the Browns was almost lifeless
as compared with that of yesterday.
Their fielding, except O'Neill's and Car

great Snowman said as he bounced into the
shop.
"Guess not" said Tom, "all the chairs arc
full and people are waiting"
"Can't get any one to give me his turnf"
Barnum asked,
@You might try that Irishman.r
1t was q marvellous Irishman that was rs.
ferred to. He looked as II he had been wait
ing for barber all his life, he was so un-
kempt and shaggy about the head and face
Barnum bought him off by promising to pay
his bill while in the BARRIERS hands Tom
shaved the Irishman and whispered in his ear
as he shaved. He told him he might as well
get his hair cut, and then that he had better
have shampoo. After that he sent him
back for bath, and catching him when he
came out, got him to have his hair curled and
his mustache dyed. He didn't look anything
like the same Irishman. The bill amounted
to sl5 and odd cents. Barnum paid it and
was delighted with the joke. He had apic-
ture made showing the Celt as he came In and
as he went out, and that picture went all over
the world.--Julian Ralph in Kansas City

They don't hide your tweedle-doe.dum.
The voice Of your Betsy is calling you, dear;
It's nearly the time to make soap;
And some Of the women arc saying, my love,
I'm giving you most too much rope.
They say there is desperate flirting up there
With widows and maids not few.
Haven't been kissed since the morning you left,
But, Joseph, how is it with your
Come homel Come homel
You hear me, you rascal Come home:
